A Boon and a Burden

(Current PL: 9,059 due to Heavy Weights)
(Original PL: 36,237)

Marcel walked along the concrete path of the West Capitol, out on one of his normal walks which also served as a small bit of training. Underneath his newly acquired medieval like attire hid his weights which was drawing the demonic hybrid down some in both speed, and power. However he was beginning to get use to it, and could feel this hindering device also strengthening him in the process. He could see now why others wore these things during training. It certainly did beat walking around shirtless at a certain snowy covered highlands..... 

The red eyed black slit hybrid politely maneuvered around the various people who were also walking out here on this fine day, smiling, and nodding to some as he walked past. Despite his mixture of what could be summed up as two of the most hostile species out there, Marcel was a pretty kind, and gentle soul, mainly due to being raised here on this planet, having such a positive role model in his step father. As he continued to walk however, someone ended up shoving the man out of the way. He didn't move much, but he could tell whoever did it didn't really care, or was in a hurry. As the person responsible walked passed him, Law noticed something strange about the womanly figure. No it wasn't her snake like appearance since these type of people were normal around these parts....although he'd never met a snake Zoanthrope before. It was the power he was sensing off of her that got to him. Though it was weak...it also gave off a certain vibe. One that was...

Demonic....

The hybrid, with an eyebrow raised managed to speed up some to the woman which didn't take much effort until he was walking next to her. "Excuse me, miss. I may have accidentally bumped you back there, and I would like to apologize." he claimed even though it was clear she did it, he was just that polite....plus he was also curious about what she was.

(I like it o:)

Marcel stood there completely still as the demoness eyed him, her cold, reptilian like eyes, staring into his. Her eyes though a different color greatly resembled his own. Perhaps she was one....a demon. Judging from her appearance however, she could also be merely half of one like himself, her other half possibly being a Zoanthrope from the looks of it. His eyes would then widen some as the woman blurted out that Law was a demon. Quickly he looked around, luckily no one was in sight. Marcel ad a real problem of others knowing of his demonic half. It has done nothing, but give him trouble in the past, making him go through 'hell' through most of his childhood.

"Y-yeah, I'm a hybrid...of those two." he hesitantly answered as the snake woman pieced it all together. His eyes then began to wander around her body. The purple colored scales were something he had never came across in the past. It was terrifying yet captivating. The demonic aura surging through this woman was stronger than his own with no trace of anything else. Was she an actual full blooded...demon? If that were the case, were all Zoanthropes demons!? No, no that couldn't be right. He would've sensed what he was sensing off of her a long time ago if that were the case. Perhaps the two species shared similarities? Maybe that would explain the hybrid's eyes....

His eyes finally trailed back up to the demoness' as she spoke to him once again in a demanding tone. "Right..." he glanced away. "Are you by any chance a demon....? A pure blooded one? Not a....hybrid..." his eyes went back to hers. "...myself?" He had met Pure blooded Saiyans in the past, but never a demon. Not even his own father.

Marcel once again took a good look around. Only one other was coming by. He waited until the bystander has passed before continuing. "I've...actually never met another demon before." he whispered. "Well...not a full blooded one, I mean." he corrected himself with a small, sheepish smile. "I never imagined that they would look reptilian in nature. Not that there is anything wrong with that." he quickly corrected himself. By all means he didn't consider the demoness to be ugly. In fact, Marcel never really thought much of people's looks, having been judged so much by how he looked when he was a child, riddled in black spots....Fortunately these 'spots' disappeared once he gotten older.

"If it isn't too much of a bother, could you tell me all that you know of your....our species?" he asked, still in a hush tone. The expression on the man's face wreaked of curiosity just as it did when he met the pure blooded Saiyan, Negi. He then realized that the amount of people walking past has increased some. Perhaps this wasn't the perfect place to discuss such a thing. "Do you know of anywhere more private that we could discuss this?" he was really bothered by others he didn't want knowing, knowing about his secret. "Of course, if you don't want to, I'll understand."

(It's coolio o: Sorry if this doesn't seem like it's leaning towards a spar, or fight >.< I bet cha if Jor tried to bring it up, he'd be all in. He is half Saiyan after all : P)

The idea of demons coming in various forms filled the man's head as the woman before him explained. It made him wonder about the many forms a demon could take....what his father could possibly look like. He imagined that he'd a least be humanoid. How else would have Marcel been conceived....he then shook his head before he could dive any deeper into that thought.

"Oh?" Marcel commented on the woman's suggestion of a hotel. In all honesty, Marcel has never set foot in a hotel....or even a house in years. He's been living most of his life out at Bamboo Forest which he had no complaints about whats so ever, but judging from how well kept he looks, one would really be surprised if they discovered that. "Please, lead the way." he said in a calm yet enthusiastic tone. He was now intrigued in finally learning something about his demon roots, AND to see what the inside of a hotel was like.

"Ah, my apologies. My name is Marcel, it's a pleasure to meet you, Jormungandr." he bowed before following the woman. "So, I'm guessing animals are among those that they could appear as?" he questioned, walking beside the demoness. He didn't want to be rude, and keep quiet the whole way, so he decided to make some small talk which was strange coming from him of all people, especially towards a woman! He was usually awkward around women....well, he still is, but he's appeared to gain some experience with them ever since he met a few in the past.

The red eyed hybrid smiled softly as he listened to the demoness. He didn't know why, but there was something about her finding his unique mixed genes surprising that made him feel somewhat at ease. Perhaps he was somehow flattered by it, or maybe he was relieved there weren't that many people with such a monstrous mixture of genes. There was that one other demonic Saiyan hybrid however Marcel met not too long ago. A white haired woman by the name of Lettucia. Fortunately she didn't seem hostile in nature just like Marcel, despite her embracing her demon half. Perhaps her Saiyan pride was just stronger than his own. Marcel's smile would slowly develop into a small frown however as Jor began to speak about marriage. From what he was told from his mother, she nor his father married with their relationship only being that of a one night stand....

Or at least that's what she told him...

In truth, Marcel's birth father along with the other members of his clan....took 'advantage' of the poor lower class Saiyaness. It was a traumatic day for her, and even she wasn't sure which of them could be the hybrid's birth father...Her pride, and other things were what prevented the woman from telling her son the truth, covering up as a one night stand to which he still believes to this day. Perhaps it was for the best. Law didn't even hear the purple scaled demoness talk about the different forms demons could take as he was now deep in thought about who his father was, and what he was like.

"Hm?" he did manage to hear Jor's last statement. He looked up to her then towards the building they were heading to. The hotel appeared huge on the outside which made sense considering it's meant to house multiple people. "Ah, I suppose we are..." he said, acting as if he were engaged in the conversation this whole time.

Jormungandr

(Marcel has that effect on people.....probably : P)

Marcel stared up at the towering building, amazed by the size of it, not even realizing that the door was being held open for him at first. "Ah, thank you." the hybrid said with a nod before walking in. The first floor was neatly kept with portraits, and such hung up around the walls. Marcel's eyes wandered while the woman paid for their room. Some others who were also in the hotel looked towards the two, specifically the hybrid, and his odd looking attire. Law finally noticed the eyes looking towards them, causing him to shift his eyes back towards Jor who begun to lead them to their room.

As they walked in, Marcel first noticed how clean the living room like area was. Perhaps he should think about renting one of these one day....As Jor wondered what he'd like to know first, Marcel continued his walk around their room, peeking into the bathroom before looking out towards Jor. "Ah, right...." Marcel pondered as he walked down the small hallway, looking from door to door. "I noticed that Saiyans react to the full moon due to their....tails." Marcel claimed, still not truly understanding the whole tail plus moon equals giant ape bit. "Do demons have a similar thing going on with them?" he wondered. Perhaps the reason Marcel wasn't born with a tail was because he adopted whatever the demon's trigger was.

If they had one that is....

Jormungandr

(It's cool. Marcel....and I also have that effect on people o~o lol)

The hybrid walked back into the main room where Jor was, listening to what she was saying in the process. "Makyo Star?" he repeated. This was he has ever heard of this thing. He guessed it were some sort of star, meaning that both Saiyans, and demons received these triggering sources through a celestial power. Very coincidental, and...strange. Her talking about how demons didn't need a similar triggering source like Saiyans while under this...star, but what really got to him was when Jor explained that it made her more hostile.

"It does?" he looked to her. What if that was also the source of his random outbursts of anger, and aggression towards those who angered him, but then again he has gotten a better hang of his...anger issues, so was that really it? Was it the Makyo Star, or something else entirely?

"Oh, do demons hail from another planet? Again you are the only pure blooded one I've ever seen, so it would make sense...unless I've been overlooking some... " he asked his next question, a hand resting on his chin as he really got to thinking about that. How many demons could there actually be roaming around this planet?

(and I'm enjoying having Marcel once again play the student xD This time learning more of his demon side.)
